Ahhhhhhhhh, ready for binding I thought; BUT WAIT, WHERE ARE THE BORDERS???

So this will be QAYG with borders being added separately. Gonna be weird! Lucky its just for me!
Will post when I figure out just how I'm going to do it.
I have done this method to enlarge a quilt, do the flip and stitch deal....you have enough batting around for a narrow border. I'll try and explain....line up border fabric on side RST and stitch, flip them over and press, do the other side and then the top and bottom....I have also done this with a batting layer, backing, batting on back and then border fabric on top, flip open and press...clean as mud huh?
